Johnson to meet U.S. trainees. Standing between the two participants in front of an U.S.A.l.D. "claspedhands" sign symbolizing Turkish- American friendship, Mr. Johnson reaffirmed the importance placed by the American Government on the Participant Training Program as part of its economic and technical assistance program to Turkey. Convinced that aid to underdeveloped countries is mutually beneficial to the donor as well as the receiver, the Vice President said, "We believe from our own experience that when you are casting bread upon the waters it will return someday a greater strength, greater hope, greater progress and prosperity for the entire community of men." lie observed that the history of the United States serves as a good example of this old teaching. The benefits America once attained from older cultures served later to help the old world maintain its freedom when threatened by aggressors and also assisted in its reconstruction and development efforts in times of peace. Since over 50 percent of those trained in the United States under A.I.D. sponsorship are working in the field of agriculture, the Minister of Agriculture, Mehimet izmen, represented tie Turkish Government in this ceremony. le reported that the Participant'raining Program was rendering a valuable service to Turkey by contributing trained and qualified personnel to implement the program of economic i pment le prog ra l pecific development. instances where He cited the participants several specific are inavitale rle i n ts e playing a vital role in this effort. In the cordial atnosphere of the Balin Hotel gathering, crowded with dignitaries from tho Turkish Government and the American aid mission, both parties reiterated the feeling of friendship that existed between the two countries.

9 October 1962 ParticipantJoUral Page 9 100,000 ILLITERATES EVERY YEAR MAKE LITERACY TRAINING VITAL TO MILITARY Nearly 100,000 illiterate men in Turkey reach military service age each year. These recruits cannot read the simplest instructions for the use of modem complicated military equipment. To fight illiteracy Turkish Armed Forces and their American advisors decided to set up literacy training centers throughout Turkey. Work began on the program in 1957, with full cooperation among Turkish and American authorities (Turkish Ministries of Defense and Educatio,, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the Joint U.S. Military Mission for Aid to Turkey). By April of 1959, this joint education effort was ready to roll and 16 training centers went into operation throughout Turkey. 50,(000 NOW TRAINEI) YEARLY Since the inception of the program, approximately 50,000 men have suc- cessfully completed de basic literacy training course each year, with a total of nearly 175,000 by August About 50,000 men have been released from service and have returned to their villages with newly acquired literacy skills which has made them better soldiers and more useful citizens. Today the 16 literacy training centers in Turkey include 41 units, each capable of handling 416 recruits with a total of 17,056 men. Each unit conist of.'twostoy shol bildngthe consists of a two-story school building with 16 classrooms, a three-story dormitory (housing 422 men), an auditorium-mess hall and a bath house. When work began for literacy training, faced with lack of proper teaching materials and scientifically based methods, the Turkish Government again called on U.S.A.I.D. to assist. This resulted in another joint project to prepare textbooks and teaching materials. RESEACIIERS COMPILE BASIC VOCABULARY Specialists in language teaching from.georgetown University (under U.S.AI.D. contract) began wor on this projectby conducting basic research to analyze the structure of the Turkish spoken language. American linguists and their U:S.-trained Turkish counterparts made tape-recordings of more than 250,000 words of conversation among illiterate adults. Microphones were placed in barber shops and teahouses patronized by illiterates to find the most common words used in colloquial speech. Frequency of common words in various types of Turkish written materials were also counted. Analyzing every word root, every prefix, and suffix, a list of 700 Turkish words were compiled which accounted for approximately 90 percent of normal daily conversations. Using this list, American and Turkish educators skilled in adult education prepared a series of eight basic textbooks as well as 40 supplementary reading books. The writers carefully controlled both the vocabulary and the contents of the books according to the scientifically developed teaching methods. MOST REWARDING PROJECT Literacy Training Project has been one of the most interesting and rewarding of cooperative U.S.- Turkish adventures in education. This project is making a great contribution not only to the defense of the country but to the education of its people.

11 October 1962 Participant Journal Page 11 As a consequence 12 labor union leaders were sent to the United States in July under U.S.A.I.D. Participant Training Program and 10 more in October (See page 13). The purpose of this program is to provide opportunity for prominent Turkish union officials to study the organization and functioning of trade unions in democratic society. The study period will last approximately three months. The Participant Training Program for labor leaders, in general, hopes to cover field studies of basic trade union activities on all levels - national, state and local. The bulk of the program is directed to the core and center of trade union activity wages, hours, and working conditions; methods of collective bargaining, grievances procedures; functions and role of shop stewards; and other work which is elementary and basic in day-to-day relations between the trade union and management. The team is attending some actual meetings of local trade union and central bodies, specially the sessions where collective dealings between union and employer are going on. They are observing, in operation, the ordinary services which a trade union renders its members in the realm of obtaining improved wages, hours, and working conditions. They are given the opportunity to study the special services rendered by unions such as publication of a labor paper -- labor education, community and civic activities, credit unions, etc. Included in the program also are demonstrations to explain the simple mechanics of how a union is formed and how pledges of membership are secured. They will learn, too, how a union secures its charter and how it elects its first set of officers. Other important items on the agenda are to learn the role of a labor "organizer" and modern techniques of labor education. The principa" of establishing and collecting dues and many other important and necessary functions of the modern U.S. labor union will be demonstrated.

Mr. Alpdiindar said that another fundamental bond between Turkey and the U.S. lies in what he called "Our common fight against the enemy, communism." he said Turkish soldiers and American soldiers fought side by side against communism in Korea. "We have learned much at this meeting," Mr. (ehreli said. "This knowledge will help us in our own planning for organized labor in Turkey. And we will depend on the expert advice of American labor leaders to help us in our own problems." (Wireless message from Washington D.C.). U. S.

The participant thus honored was Nurettin Madran, the General-Director of 1Ministry of Agriculture Plant Protection and Quarantine Division. Possible use of films to demonstrate the techniques of preventing blue-mold disease which is destroying tobacco plants was discussed. It seems that tobacco farmers are resisting the recommendations of government officials to control this disease and it was suggested that perhaps they would be more willing to cooperate if the end result was demonstrated to them through films. Mr. Schwartz made few suggestions as to how such films might be secured or developed.

He pointed out that since 1955, 88 Turks have received training in the United States under the A.I.D. labor program and 12 are in the United States at this moment. At a time when Turkey is entering a new phase in its labor movement, with legislation guaranteeing workers' rights pending before its National Assembly, Mr. Van Dyke told of the need for capable leaders. He said, "You, as leaders of the free Turkish Labor movement of today and also of tomorrow, will play an increasingly important role in the economic development of Turkey."

It will be serialized in five installments in the coming issues. It was decided to run the story in Turkish in order not to lose the original "color". The principal message conveyed in Burhanettin Asutay's memoirs is that progress of a country, more than anything else, is dependent on its people and if the American people have made the United States what it is today, Turks too can make their country like America. Mr. Asutay's book is a collection of series of separate experiences that appeared in izinir newspaper EGE EXPRESS concerning his U.S. travels. So great was the interest of the people of izmir that the articles were compiled into a book entitled TURKEY CAN BE AN AMERICA or TURKIYE BIR AMERIKA OLABILIR. This book which gives many interesting facts about America and American people is also full of human interest stories based on experiences during U.S. visit under the U.S.A.I.D. Participant Training Program. Mr. Asutay makes comparative analysis d American and Turkish institutions, customs, conduct, system of work, play and education etc. "Why cpn't we do the same thing?" is

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Burhanettin Asutay who started out his career as a horse-cart driver is considered one of the pioneer leaders in the Turkish trade union movement. In 1950 Mr. Asutay was the organizer of the first union for workers in the transportation business and became its first president. In 1951 this union united with all the other syndicates in izmir called the United izmir Workers Union (izmir i i Sendikalar Birlij-i) and elected Mr. Asutay as its General Secretary. Contacting and getting the support of as many syndicates as they possibly could in the country, a confederation of Turkish Trade Unions was fonned in 1952 and Mr. Asutay became the Vice President. Recognizing the valuable contributions of Mr. Asutay to the trade union movement, in 1960 he was chosen as one of the six labor leaders to be sent to the United States under U.S.A.I.D. Program to observe the operation of trade unions in the United States. The team travelled from East Coast to West Coast, from north to south covering 58,000 kilometers. They studied and observed the organization and functioning of many important labor unions, syndicates and confederations representing almost every different type of trade. They learned about the relationship between unions and government offices and the operation of labor-management relations. They attended actual meetings of local trade unions and central bodies. Today Mr. Asutay is the chief Regional Representative of the Aegean Trade Union Federation in izmir. His organization is responsible for taking care of employer-management disputes concerning abuse of workers. Whenever a local union leader cannot solve a dispute, he refers the matter to Mr. Asutay's office. This office tries to reason with lie employer bt if it is not successful it appeals to the courts. Some of the important cases are called to the attention of the Governm..t. Mr. Asutay, throughout his career, has been working to improve workers' conditions and to uphold their rights. His efforts to achieve this peacefully through legislation and arbitration is appreciated by the Government;management and labor.
